Kevin De Bruyne, the top midfielder of the English Premier League (EPL), once again opened his mouth to the snow in Saudi Arabia.

European soccer transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano shared an interview with Belgian media HLN on his personal SNS on the 1st (Korea time).

Asked if he would stay in Manchester City, Derbroughner replied "Remain in Manchester City? Yes. I've read a lot of articles about Saudi transfers, but I've never spoken to anyone. If you have a good offer and tell Pep Guardiola that you want to leave, you can transfer to Saudi Arabia at any time if you want to.



"But I never expressed my desire to leave..." he added, drawing the line that he did not make such a decision immediately.

While rejecting rumors of a transfer, Dubrowner did not close the possibility of a transfer to Saudi Arabia. Rather, he argued, "If you are offered a ridiculous amount, it is also for my family, relatives, grandchildren, and friends." A huge offer might be chosen for the people around you.

This is not the first time that Derbrowner has mentioned the Saudi transfer rumor. Dubrowner also said in June that `there is one year left on the contract, so we have to think about what will happen. At my age, I have to be open to everything. People are talking about huge amounts of money that could end my career. Sometimes you have to think about it," he said, adding that he had no choice but to think about Saudi Arabia's enormous proposal.

Then "I think I can make a lot of money if I play for Saudi for two years. I played football for 15 years before that and maybe I haven't reached that amount yet. Then you have to think about what it means. But we have a year left, so we don't need to think about it yet"I will stay in Manchester City until the next season when the contract is fulfilled, but I am sure I will make a huge amount of money if I accept Saudi's offer."



In fact, European soccer stars, including Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar, have chosen to go to Saudi Arabia and are receiving huge salaries. Of course, Derbroughner is getting a lot of money from Manchester City, but the amount of money he can pay in Saudi Arabia is well above Europe.

In the transfer window last winter, De Bruyne already wants to keep De Bruyne in the team as long as possible. His contract with Man City expires in the summer of 2025. There are about 18 months left. Man City are said to want to extend his contract for another year. However, rumors of a Saudi transfer had been raised that Al-Nasr and Al-Hilal were watching Derbroughner with Mohamed Salah.

If Derbrowner leaves Manchester City for Saudi Arabia this summer, it will be a big shock to fans. Dubrowner is still a midfielder representing Manchester City in the 2023-2024 season and played as a mainstay of the team. Derbrowner, who also boasts unrivaled skills in the English Premier League (EPL), has contributed to Manchester City's fourth consecutive league victory by leading the team's rise since his return despite being out for a long time due to injury this season.

Some EPL stars, including Son Heung-min, expressed their intention to reject Saudi Arabia's massive proposal. However, Derbroughner opened up the possibility, saying it is not just an amount that can be done. Whether he will accept Saudi Arabia's offer to reach out to Derbroughner this summer and after the next season is expected to attract great attention.
